Rs17822931

Rs17822931 is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located on chromosome 11, specifically at position 11,562,899. It is a variant of the gene TMEM16F, which is involved in the regulation of cell signaling and cell cycle progression. Rs17822931 has been studied in the context of various diseases and traits, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and psychiatric disorders. Research has shown that this SNP may influence the risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as breast and prostate cancer, by affecting the expression and function of TMEM16F. Additionally, rs17822931 has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease and stroke. In psychiatric disorders, this SNP has been linked to an increased risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The functional significance of rs17822931 is not fully understood, but it is believed to affect the regulation of gene expression and protein function. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which rs17822931 contributes to disease risk and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
